FUJITSU ReRAM now in mass production:Uses 94% less operating current than a comparable EEPROM

The FUJITSU ReRAM (Resistive Random-Access Memory) is a non-volatile memory with SPI interface.

Thanks to its low operating current of just 0.2 mA when reading at 5 MHz, the IC is ideally suited for battery-powered applications, e.g. wearables or medical products, such as hearing aids.

The ReRAM chip is operated with voltages of 1.65 to 3.6 V.In comparison to a conventional non-volatile memory like EEPROM or Flash, ReRAM offers lower power consumption and a longer lifespan. The ReRAM has an “unlimited read endurance” as well as a “write endurance” of 1,200,000 million cycles.
